Sobre el álbum
Un punto de inflexión en la discografía de Barbra Streisand lo marca el álbum "People". Este trabajo, por lo tanto, la catapultó de estrella aclamada a icono cultural, gracias en gran medida a la canción que le da título, extraída del exitoso musical de Broadway "Funny Girl". Por consiguiente, el disco se convierte en su primer número uno en ventas, consolidando su estatus de superestrella. De hecho, la canción "People" se convirtió en su tema insignia, un himno que definiría su carrera para siempre.
Además del icónico single, el álbum presenta una exquisita colección de baladas y standards que exhiben su increíble madurez interpretativa. De este modo, Streisand demuestra que era mucho más que una cantante de Broadway; era la voz de su generación. Por lo tanto, "People" no es solo un álbum de enorme éxito; es el documento sonoro que captura el momento exacto en que una estrella se convierte en una leyenda inmortal.

Absent minded me Absent minded me I'm losing a key Or missing a glove Just like me to lose my love Gotta find it, absent minded me Dizzy dopey me Mixed-up mopey me I'm way, way ahead Of the game then it starts How did i lose my king of hearts?

- Fine and Dandy
Letra
Please forgive this platitude But I like your attitude You are just the kind I've had in mind, Never could find Honey, I'm so keen on you I could come to lean on you On a random bay Give you your way Do what you say Gee, it's all fine and dandy Sugar candy, When I've got you Then I only see the sunny side Even trouble has its funny side When you're gone, my sugar candy I get so lonesome, I get so blue But when you're handy It's fine and dandy But when you're gone What can I do? - Supper Time
- Will He Like Me?
- How Does the Wine Taste?
Letra
How does the wine taste? Does it stain your lips? What is the fruit-like? Just beyond my finger tips? Just out of reach, I see so much I cannot taste and mustn't touch Tied to my little world My safe little world What would it be like If I broke the string? Would it be lovely And a little frightening? There is so much I've never understood How does the wine taste? Is it good? How does the wine taste? Does it make you glow? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? I think I know - I'm All Smiles
- Autumn
Letra
Autumn, it feels like autumn Although the breeze is still I feel the chill of autumn Oh, yes, it's autumn It's always autumn However green the hill To me it still is autumn I can feel the frost now That makes my spring and summer dreams Seem lost now Why can't the autumn haze Recall the days of warm summer laughter? That faded soon after in the autumn He left in autumn And though another season's here I feel the emptiness of autumn All the year... - My Lord and Master
- Love Is a Bore
- Don't Like Goodbyes
- People
